We are really sorry we could not empty your bin(s) on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (11-13 December) due to the slippery and icy conditions.

If we have missed your bin(s) this week, please leave them out and we'll do our best to empty them later this week and into next week. We will also take away any side waste left by your bin.

We will assess conditions first thing tomorrow (Thursday) morning, and will hopefully start with Monday's missed rounds. Our first priority will be to collect any missed blue or black bins. Missed brown bins will be collected in the new year.

Once again we are sorry for the inconvenience and would like to thank all our residents for their patience and understanding.
